SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING DEFECTS IN AN ELECTRIC BATTERY SYSTEM
An apparatus and method for testing a battery pack are provided. Measurement components are configured to measure parameters of battery components (e.g., batteries and battery connection components) within the battery pack. Trained models are applied to signals measured by the measurement components and provide an output indicative of a condition of the battery components.
Voltage detection device
A voltage detection circuit includes a differential amplification circuit and a microcontroller unit (MCU). The MCU detects a differential voltage output from operational amplifiers of the differential amplification circuit, and calculates an internal resistance value of a battery cell based on the detected differential voltage. At this time, the MCU controls an amplification factor adjustment circuit of the differential amplification circuit based on a maximum voltage representing the highest voltage detectable by the MCU and the differential voltage output from the differential amplification circuit so as to set the amplification factor of the operational amplifiers.
